Filevine vs FTR Justice Cloud

Filevine provides tools for complex legal work, including matter and document management, client communication, intake, depositions, drafting, billing and business analytics. Matter Management tracks tasks, contacts, deadlines and calendars. Document Management organizes files, supports advanced search and enables secure sharing. Intake tools capture, qualify and route leads, including through AI-powered features; client intake forms and a client portal are also listed. Deposition tools cover scheduling, live transcription, AI summaries and a searchable library. LOIS AI Drafting generates, edits and reviews documents using matter context, with human-verified output. The Matters package includes time tracking, invoice management and online payments. Native integrations span billing and timekeeping, email and calendars, data visualization, law management and communication. Filevine describes encryption at rest and in transit, governance controls, and identity and access management, and says it is hosted on AWS. Packages are tailored to the organization, with pricing on request. LOIS Explore is free but does not connect to Filevine Case Management.

FTR Justice Cloud captures, stores, reviews, and manages court records. It records courtroom audio and video, supports live speech-to-text with speaker identification, and provides playback, monitoring, transcription, and summaries. Judges, clerks, and attorneys can review and annotate proceedings, while courts can handle requests for recordings, certified transcripts, and speech-to-text outputs. Courts may also provide online ordering, request tracking, and secure delivery. The system supports existing courtroom hardware, legacy audio uploads, and connections to case-management, evidence-management, and other systems. Recording can continue locally without connectivity; audio uploads and speech-to-text generation resume when a connection returns. The maker says recordings and transcripts are not used to train generative-AI systems or shared externally for model development. The platform is offered through API, macOS, web, and Windows, and its desktop app supports transcribers and court reporters. People requesting records through participating courts must create a free account using an email address. Pricing is available on request.
